Jacksonville overview
There’s no doubt that Florida’s charms are many. From amusement parks and non-stop nightlife to beaches and wildlife reserves, Florida is a state with a destination for every type of traveller. Those who love big city life, oceanfront views and a healthy dose of culture will find a flight to Jacksonville very appealing.
As the largest city by area in the continental U.S., Jacksonville packs a big punch. Towering skyscrapers define the skyline of this oceanfront city, but it’s worth starting a day in Jacksonville early to catch the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean. From there, travellers can explore the historic Riverside neighbourhood, where some of the city’s oldest architecture and funkiest shops await, and the St. Johns River for which the neighbourhood was named.
A wealth of museums also greets visitors to Jacksonville. Art, in particular, is plentiful. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens and the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville are two popular choices for an afternoon of art appreciation, as is the weekly Riverside Arts Market, which is filled with works by local artists.
Perhaps surprising for a major city is the amount of natural beauty that can be found in and around Jacksonville. From the miles of beaches just outside the city proper to the pristine riverfronts and numerous urban parks, visitors will find ample opportunity to enjoy the natural side of Jacksonville during their holiday. Plus, the city has a thriving nightlife scene with plenty of bars and clubs to enjoy as night falls on Jacksonville.
Getting around Jacksonville
Jacksonville boasts the largest area of any city in the continental U.S., so walking is not a viable option to getting around the city. Public buses connect riders with destinations throughout the city, but there are typically long waits between buses. The Skyway monorail shuttles riders throughout central Jacksonville, but for travellers venturing beyond the city centre, renting a car is the most convenient option for getting around.
Getting from the Airport to the City
The city is serviced by Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), which is about 15 miles (24 km) from the centre of Jacksonville. Buses connect passengers with the city, and taxis are also available for hire. Car rental agencies are also onsite.
